Remember Madame Web, the much-hyped Spider-Man Universe film starring Dakota Johnson? The one that critics savaged and audiences left for dead at the box office? Well, believe it or not, the movie is experiencing a surprising second life.
Having bombed theatrically with a meager 11% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Madame Web has quietly landed on Netflix. This marks a significant shift for the film, which also stars Sydney Sweeney in a supporting role.
While the critical reception remains unchanged, Madame Web is finding a new audience on the streaming giant. Whether it’s just morbid curiosity or having a chance to see Sweeney as a superhero, the movie has been getting some attention since its surprise Netflix debut.
Take note that the film is still a box-office disappointment. However, its arrival on Netflix suggests that there’s an audience for this type of superhero content.
So, for those who missed Madame Web in theaters, now’s your chance to watch it on Netflix. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you.
